    who thinks gas is a climate solution?

    the use of gas is strictly because it has the capacity to cheaply store outside source (gas) and can ramp up and down quickly making it idea for dunkleflouts

    does anyone consider it a permanent solution? especially as batteries are getting so cheap these days

      The US and Europe reduced their CO₂ emissions in the first decades of the 21st century by moving from coal to gas. People who don’t care or even believe in global warming don’t care. It was very much sold as a bridge solution to people that do care.

    Louisiana claims Nat. Gas is “Green Energy” by law:

    Indiana, Ohio and Tennessee do the same.

    Everybody knows it’s horseshit, but they do it for $$$$ reasons.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world.  About 1C of total warming.  Second chart:  about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability.  Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases.  About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
